The middleman agreed wholeheartedly, and immediately went to pull two out. Zhang Fangyuan shook his head when he saw the beautiful faces.
"Isn't it good enough for this kind of appearance?"
"We need two honest people who will not cause trouble easily."
The middleman left and brought back two boys, but he was afraid that Zhang Fangyuan would be dissatisfied and think that he had brought these two to fool him, so he said: "Although they don't look very smart, they're diligent in their work."
Zhang Fangyuan felt satisfied this time. He considered himself as a regular customer, so the price was decided without much negotiation. The last time he came to buy servants, he had negotiated the deal with Song Yong and came to pick them up. This time it was the same again. Zhang Fangyuan thought that he shouldn't do the same thing as before.
He went to the county government office to complete the formalities as usual. He was about to go to the middleman to take the two new servants home, but after leaving the government office, he first went to the pastry shop to bring some pastries back for Ruijin and Ruili.
Although Xu He liked to cook for his two children and didn't let him buy pastries for them in the city, lest they ate too much pastries and not even ate meals. But every time he came to the city, he always remembered to bring something back for the children, such as food, pastries, toys, and so on.
"Doctor, hurry up! Human life is at stake, please, we must hurry up!"
When Zhang Fangyuan was about to enter the pastry shop, he saw a woman in front of a clinic, dragging an old doctor while crying shouting.
The voice sounded familiar to him, so he took a closer look, but he didn't expect it to be Fei Lian's mother.
Hearing what she said, he frowned. What happened? He hesitated for a moment whether to go forward and ask, but Mother Fei discovered him first.
"Butcher Zhang, you have a horse, can you take the doctor to the village?"
Someone asked for help, so Zhang Fangyuan didn't think much about the grudges. He took the doctor and rode back to the village and went straight to the Fei family's house.
One horse couldn't carry three people. Zhang Fangyuan still didn't know what happened on the way back with the doctor. It was not until he arrived at the Fei family's house and saw people milling around in the yard anxiously and hearing wailing in the house that he realized that something had happened to Fei Lian's concubine.
There were two female relatives in the Fei family at the moment. When they saw the doctor coming, they hurriedly brought him into the house. Fei Lian stood outside with a pale face, looking panic-stricken.
The Fei family was in chaos for a while, and then the doctor came and settled the situation. After a while, Xu Shaochun came out of the house and saw Zhang Fangyuan in the yard, so she poured a bowl of tea to express her gratitude.
She complained to Fei Lian that he didn't even bother to greet people. She didn't know if Fei Lian heard her, but instead asked, "How, how is Feng ge'er?"
Seeing that Fei Lian was so concerned about his concubine, Xu Shaochun was not angry or jealous. Instead, she looked calm and said: "The doctor is still treating him, but there is no result yet."
"What's going on?"
Although Zhang Fangyuan could tell that something was wrong with Fei Lian's concubine, he didn't know what happened. It wasn't that he liked to pry into other people's private affairs. The main thing was that he had come a long way and had to rush back to the village without even being able to bring back the servants he had bought. He had to get to the bottom of it so that he could explain to He ge'er when he returned.
When Xu Shaochun was asked, she sighed and didn't know how to answer. She seemed to think for a moment before saying, "Feng ge'er was frightened and had fetal gas. He has a terrible stomachache today."
She didn't say specifically why he was frightened, but Fei Lian's face turned paler. As soon as Xu Shaochun finished speaking, the doctor came out from the room.
Seeing the three people outside, he shook his head.
Everyone knew immediately that the child was gone.
"If you invited a doctor immediately when he felt unwell, maybe the child could be saved by using silver needles, but it has been delayed too long and the child can no longer be saved. Fortunately you called a doctor. If I had come a little later, I’m afraid both the adult and the child would have died. "
Fei Lian was on the verge of collapse after hearing this, and Xu Shaochun also looked frightened. It would be a sin if two lives lost in one day.
Then the old doctor raised his thick eyebrows and taught Fei Lian earnestly: "Although sexual intercourse is possible after the fetus has stabilized in the first few months of pregnancy, it shouldn't be too frequent or too intense. It can easily lead to miscarriage. At the very least, you will lose your child, and at worst, two lives will lose. My words may sound a bit harsh, but as a doctor, I have a kind heart. Both husband and wife should keep this in mind to avoid another tragedy in the future. "
The doctor thought that everyone in the room was Fei Lian's closest relatives and treated Zhang Fangyuan as his elder brother, so he didn't hesitate to directly admonish him for the reasons for the miscarriage.
After hearing these words, Xu Shaochun felt quite ashamed and embarrassed, while Fei Lian's face turned from pale to red. He turned his face away and walked away. However, Zhang Fangyuan touched the tip of his nose, somewhat feeling embarrassed, but his expression was still calm.
He thought that it wasn't surprising for Fei Lian to do something like this, and he couldn't say that the ge'er was pitiful. He didn't believe that Fei Lian forced him to submit. It was most likely that he wanted to strive for Fei Lian's favor, so he pestered Fei Lian. The two of them couldn't control themselves and ended up losing their child.
